Scientific paper

An interdisciplinary team of scientists and science educators have created and co-taught a six-course sequence required of all pre-service elementary teachers at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The sequence consists of an introduction to science education taught in the School of Education, three courses entitled "Learning by Inquiry" in the physical, earth/space, and life sciences taught in the Natural Sciences Department, a science teaching methods course taught in Education, and a science capstone course taught jointly. The physical science course is based on Powerful Ideas in Physical Sciences. Content and early results will be discussed. The capstone course, supported by a FIPSE grant, focuses on the concept of energy across the sciences and requires students to complete a classroom-based research project. The first offering of this course will be described. With the support of Eisenhower grants, dissemination of the inquiry courses to a local community college has begun. Additional support from the National Science Foundation (DUE-9652061) and the University of Michigan-Dearborn is gratefully acknowledged.
